Durham General Chat Thread

You serious?! Chad's gym is £10 a term

PS: I'm back in Spain in a week, but my boyfriend is currently working at Beamish. So those of you who know him, or know what he looks like, please say hi.

Haha! Yeah, I paid £5 back in October 2004 and haven't had to pay again

Jess - I don't know what you class as "adequate" - Trevs gym is pretty small (if you have more than 7 or 8 people in there at once it would be too crowded!) but most of the time there are only about 4 people in there, if that, and has all the basics that you need

beamish! woo.

I'm going to Durham tomorrow wooooooooooo!

I'll be able to go to the Woodman and have a fantastic pint.

Beamish is awesome. Good memories of school trips there, going to the mock-Victorian lesson and the old sweet shop were highlights.

We had a trip there in Year 3, unfortunately I came down with some illness on that ONE day and couldn't go, I remember going back to school when I was better and they spent like a whole day doing posters and projects about the trip and were all talking about it. I was gutted

Weird how you remember certain events really clearly isn't it! That was year 3, and I can remember it like it was just last year!

Though I have been to Beamish numerous other times, I love the trams!

Oh yeah and Trevs gym has an exercise bike

You're never this funny when you write for durham21. Why?

Also, as a sport writer, I am writing on topics not important or relevant to must durham21 readers, yet my latest article is officially the site's 3rd 'hottest' in the last 14 days. I am a pivotal member of the d21 team (some would say the most important, but I'm too modest for that) and editor of one of the most consistent sections of the website, yet I don't even have a picture or a name on the 'who are we' section. I mean, what gives man? I'm just not loved enough. Like Nicolas Anelka I just need that arm around me in training to spur me on and help me produce. Will you be my Fat Sam?

Nuns need exercise too. Are they wearing their habits in your imagination, or perhaps leotards with just the head bit so that you know they're nuns? Is Whoopi Goldberg there? Perhaps it's a sexual thing based on the fact that you cannot sleep with a nun. Unless your magic man wand gets better and lures them in ...

You'll notice that the fourth hottest article was written in Christmas 2005 and has only one less comment that your article in the last 14 days. I think that pisses on your little fire.

did u just see that durham student get voted off the weakist link. He was such a typical Durham student . . . Toff, posh public school boy -

I'm not even going to neg rep you, because I think that's what you want. Look at you with your two red gems, what an achievement! I bet you love just going around the forums annoying people and then feeling like you're a rebel then going to high school (I assume you are under 18, if you are over 18 then you have some serious mental issues) and thinking you're cool because you punish weaker people by laughing at them for being intelligent or wearing a warm coat in winter, or even physically punishing others - but that doesn't make you a bully, noooo, you're just having some fun!

Am I assuming a lot from one post? Yes.

Are you assuming a lot from one person on TV? Yes.

I've been getttin neg reps cos i keep stereotyping people - check out st andy's forum and check out oxbridge forum. LOL!!

I only queried last night (see my join date) why the gems were red - and i found out yesterday that i was being repped and that i cud rep other people if i wanted to!! LOL!!

At 1st I 4t the gems were red cos my warning level is 12. LOL!!

i have found 98% of the time the stereotypes ARE TRUE (if the stereotypes werent true - then they would be imediately be dismissed by the general public)- people slate me on this forum for stereotyping - i only state my observations as they are - and people have a problem with that- yet if it's done in a "comedic" fashion then it's completely OK .

I'm thinking for example Apu in the simpson's the katherine tate sketches/ the vicky polard skethes where she stereotypes chav's . . . and take for example "goodness gracious me" ., "the kumars at 42" . . .
. . .there is alot of stereotyping on "East is East". . .and stereotypes of class- such as "Laurie and Fry"

Yet, I stated on one forum that ethnic minorities underperform academically in the UK - u may have heard a piece about it on the news today - and some people deem this as a racist statement - when all i'm doing is stating what the reports have said.
